Re-Refined Oil Facts. 2.5 quarts of lube oil can be produced from one gallon of used oil. Re-refining is energy efficient it takes less energy to produce a gallon of re-refined base stock than to
- Is re-refining used motor oil a sustainable solution?
- Every year, millions of gallons of used motor oil are generated from vehicles and industrial machinery. Improper disposal of this oil can have serious environmental consequences, contaminating soil and water sources. Thankfully, re-refining used oil offers a sustainable solution, transforming it back into high-quality lubricant.
- Can lubricating oil be reprocessed?
- After using the lubricating oil for a certain period of time, it loses its main characteristics and becomes unusable, requiring new oil to supplant it. The waste oil can be reprocessed to regain the characteristics, for which the oil was being used. There are several re-refining technologies with some merits and demerits. 7.1.1. Acid/clay treatment
- What is a used oil re-refining plant?
- A used oil re-refining plant houses a complex network of equipment designed to efficiently process used oil. Some of the essential components include: Storage tanks: Used oil is stored in designated tanks before being processed. Pre-treatment equipment: Filtration units, settling tanks, and centrifuges are used for initial cleaning and separation.
- How is lubricating oil regenerated?
- The funnel is connected to a vacuum pump. Next, a 10 % NaOH solution is used to neutralize the acidic solution. The regenerated lubricating oil is then decanted from the top for subsequent usage after the treated oil is left motionless for a full day to allow for sedimentation .
- What is re-refining lubricant?
- The re-refining process extracts the base oil from used oil, which can then be blended with additives to create new high-quality lubricants. This reduces the need to extract and refine virgin crude oil, a process that consumes significant energy and can have a negative impact on the environment.
- What is lubricating oil degradation?
- Degradation refers to alterations in the desired viscosity properties of oil due to molecular structural changes in the lubricating oil, which are produced by cracking, isomerization, and polymerization processes triggered by elevated temperatures during operation .
